RPMDB(8)                                                        RPMDB(8)

NAME

       rpmdb - RPM Database Tool

SYNOPSIS

       rpmdb {--initdb|--rebuilddb}

       rpmdb {--verifydb}

       rpmdb {--exportdb|--importdb}

DESCRIPTION

       The general form of an rpmdb command is

       rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DI‐
       RECTORY]

       Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already ex‐
       ist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to
       rebuild the database indices from the installed package headers.

       --verifydb performs a low-level integrity check on the database.

       --exportdb exports the database in header-list format, suitable
       for transfporting to another host or database type.

       --importdb imports a database from a header-list format as creat‐
       ed by --exportdb.

       rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt
       aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the
       manual matches what's available.
